Each section begins with general bibliographies, literary histories and general works. Then the principal authors are listed alphabetically. Each has two sections, works 'by' and works 'about'. The first section gives the main works, with dates and editors. This is annotated by Mr Watson where necessary. In the second section the emphasis is on books rather than articles.
The authors chosen are British (though James and Eliot are included), not American or Commonwealth; but the biographical, critical and historical works do take account of the scholarship of other English-speaking countries.
